Heathland descent with views over Zuiderheide

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

One of the many fantastic pieces of heathland around Hilversum. Not a lot of height difference, but you can feel it. Can be very busy with walkers, cyclists, runners and other outdoorsy people on sunny days.

Zuiderheide

Highlight • Natural

Very beautiful surroundings, the bike path runs quite directly through it and sometimes has limited visibility. The most beautiful places here can only be reached on foot, which is really worth it.

Easy parking on the Kon. Wilhelminalaan in Bussum.
Various coffee stops possible along the way.

Parking at carpool Muiderberg (you can also depart from carpool Naarden along the A1)
And then don't cycle in the wrong direction like I did, but rather go straight to the Naarderbos golf course, go onto the golf course there and choose your paths! It is out of use so free to go. Then direction Naarden and pick up the …
